Impact Burton was impressive on both ends of the court for Notre Dame, but he thrived as a scoring weapon despite the tight loss to the Demon Deacons. This was Burton's seventh game with at least 20 points across his last eight contests, so he's ending the regular season on a hot streak.

Impact The Fighting Irish needed Burton to be at his best Wednesday, and the star floor general posted an impressive stat line on both ends of the court to carry Notre Dame to a huge win over the Eagles.

Propels Irish with 26 Burton contributed 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 71-68 win over Georgia Tech.

Impact Notre Dame has turned things around a bit of late, due in part to Burton's continued production, as well as some softer ACC matchups. The Irish have won three of four, and Burton is averaging 23.8 ppg on 45.8 percent shooting over that span. He's improved his outside shooting tremendously, recorded a 43.3 percent success rate from distance -- more than 13 points higher than last year's final mark.

Racks up 28 Burton amassed 28 points (12-26 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 77-69 loss to Syracuse.

Impact It was Burton's best scoring effort since returning from a knee injury in January, which appears to be fully behind him, as he's now averaging 21.8 ppg across five contests in January. The outlook for the Irish may not be great, but Burton's tremendously high usage should ensure he remains an elite fantasy asset.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Burton returned to the starting unit after scoring 23 points across 23 minutes off the bench in the loss to UNC on Jan. 4. Burton is the Fighting Irish's best player by a wide margin, and he should continue to be the team's go-to option on offense.

Impact Burton didn't start in this tight loss, but he was still the best player on the court for the Fighting Irish despite playing only 23 minutes.
